The security update fixed a flaw identified as CVE-2024-6385 with a severity rating of 9.6 out of 10.
ViperSoftX malware secretly uses AutoIT scripting to run PowerShell. It affects GitLab CE/EE versions from 15.8 to 16.11.6, 17.0 to 17.0.4, and 17.1 to 17.1.2. Attackers can exploit this to start a new pipeline as a different user, under specific conditions which GitLab has not yet revealed.
GitLab pipelines are a feature of a system called Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). They allow users to run processes and tasks automatically, either at the same time or one after the other, in order to build, test, or deploy changes to the code.
Company released GitLab Community and Enterprise versions 17.1.2, 17.0.4, and 16.11.6 to fix security flaw. Admins are advised to upgrade all installations right away.
“We strongly recommend that all installations running a version affected by the issues described below are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible,” it warned. “GitLab.com and GitLab Dedicated are already running the patched version.”
